Get a life!
When there is drought, even a few drops of
rain have the power to cause excitement. The kindness of people is similar.
Every little sincere act inspires gratitude. The absence of genuine kindness is
like a drought. So, suddenly, when you come across people who you haven't had a
close connection with but who spontaneously offer help, it makes you can feel
those raindrops fall on your heart.
Life has become very clinical, mechanical
....like dance without expression, like music discordant, like a house which is
not a home....I guess, I find the soul missing in many around me. And I often
feel that souls on the earth must be experiencing much loneliness. Imagine
being connected and not realizing it! Being lonely when there really is no need
to be so. Deliberately hurting someone , not knowing that it is definitely
coming back to you...or often knowing it but still doing it...succors for
inviting grief.
Oh! Humans! Get a life!

Vicious cycle
Many
people tell me they have moved on. The tones of their statements hit me
sometimes. They don't realize it but often, these statements are laced with a
defiance that hides deep hurts. Their eyes, too, fail to support their speech.
Some others say it very proudly, hoping to fool others and somewhere, deep
down, even themselves.
Is
it so easy to move on? If it is, then how come everywhere and every day, we
witness breaking bonds, relationships fraying around the edges, warring
families ...and the like? Should these not heal if we have really moved on?
Actually,
we have not really moved on. Rather, we have let the energies of people move
in. Simultaneously, we have literally donated our energies to people. So,
naturally, we don't feel well within. But as usual, we have to show bravado
outside. So, we do just that. And we cannot feel peace and harmony under these
circumstances.
So,
it is becomes yet another vicious cycle. At some point, you have to break the
cycle by just telling yourself that you will throw away all that does not work
for you and start afresh.
I
hear people saying, "But now I am too old to start afresh." Really ?
Is that a reason or an excuse? Think it through! The feeling of being old again
hides very, very old "scar" tissues which get thicker and thicker
because you let them.
Hmmm....hard
work releasing old pains, right? And yet, there is no choice and no other way
to reclaim your invaluable soul.
Therefore,
let's wake up NOW, from whichever stage and state we happen to be in.
